MMP.16:4.1 - Locate the consequential disagreement

Write the answer that would differ. It may be a threshold response, a predicted event, an intervention consequence or which conjecture to develop next. For a numerical target, write it as q(h,theta), where h selects a model and theta contains its remaining unknowns. Different theta within one model can matter as much as different model labels.

Recover what the present observations and assumptions leave possible. MMP.11 constructs the family of models; MMP.12 exposes a recovery ambiguity; MMP.13 supplies probabilistic conclusions when used. Group equivalent parameterizations by the behavior relevant to this question.

Ask which remaining disagreements change the intended answer or a worthwhile later inquiry. If all retained alternatives already support the same sufficient answer, return it.
